Strange Mutant

Men, do you agree?

Ahhh hahaha. "In a nutshell, this is a thrilling competitive heist game where you join an underground movement to rob the ultra-rich and rebalance the scales"

The 3 fundamental parts of our time which are the Boomer worldview are: 1.) FDR managerial bureaucracy 2.) Civil rights religion 3.) Cold War hippie liberal internationalism All of those are going to be destroyed during our lifetimes as power changes hands. Right now we are living in the interregnum of Boomer stasis where nobody believes in the current monoculture, but Boomers refuse to retire.

A few years ago, Peter Thiel wrote to Mark Zuckerberg: 70% of Millennials say they're pro-socialist. His conclusion: stop calling them stupid, and try to understand why. His explanation was economic. Too much student debt, unaffordable housing, no capital. When you own nothing, you have no reason to defend the system. He's right. But that's only half the story. The other half is school. School destroys critical thinking. Methodically. For fifteen years. You learn to recite instead of question. To find the expected answer instead of the true one. To obey authority instead of reasoning for yourself. When you've spent your youth outsourcing your thinking to an institution, it feels natural to outsource your life to an even bigger one: the State. That's why so many end up Marxist. Not by conviction. By conditioning. And that conditioning is about to become a handicap. We're entering a world where AI does everything conformist, predictable and standardized better than we do. The only value left is thinking differently. To create value tomorrow, you'll need to be neurodivergent. And someone who thinks differently and reasons from first principles almost always ends up seeing the same thing: the State, as it works today, destroys more value than it creates. It's no accident that Alex Karp created a fellowship at Palantir dedicated to neurodivergent talent. To him, in the age of AI, there are only two ways to have a future: master a real trade, or be neurodivergent. But I'll go further than Karp. I believe neurodivergence isn't the exception. It's the natural state of the human mind. Look at a four-year-old. They ask hundreds of questions a day. They take everything apart. They refuse any rule they don't understand. They think from first principles without even knowing it's a thing. Then they go to school. And we spend fifteen years normalizing them. School doesn't shape minds. It sands them down. The future belongs to those who survived the sanding.

JUST IN: 7 Republican Senators are moving to BLOCK the vote to keep John Thune from becoming minority leader. The list so far: -Ron Johnson (WI) -Mike Lee (UT) -Rick Scott (FL) -John Kennedy (LA) -Dave McCormick (PA) -Jim Banks (IN) -Ted Budd (NC) Every Republican Senator should be joining them. John Thune has failed as leader. Don't reward him for his failures.

Boards should start hiring their own hookers to seduce their execs. If it fails, great, you’ve got a good one. If it succeeds, nothing leaks and now you know what you’re dealing with and have leverage to boot.

It’s going to be a wild week in the US Senate. Buckle up. I have been calling around to various Republican Senators this weekend. A few takeaways… 1. Conference is just furious — pissed is an understatement. 2. They see their own inaction on critical issues like the SAVE Act and insider trading bills as a major de-motivator for the midterms. They blame Thune and leadership for playing safe. 3. The rushed Leadership vote Tuesday is seen as a blatant insult. Senators want to know how their Leaders will respond to lame duck session and being in a steep minority. 4. Over a dozen Senators are demanding round the clock work on Trump nominations and judicial appointments. Some believe parts of the SAVE Act can still be passed through reconciliation. 5. Recess appointments are also being demanded. Thune is holding them up. 6. Senators are openly questioning their adherence to “tradition” — blue slip, filibuster etc. — as a new crop of Democrats couldn’t care less and will destroy tradition for power in a heartbeat. 7. There’s a sense that something big is going to happen. A real shakeup. Stay tuned… One Senator tells me: “The guys blocking an America First conference are all gone now. It’s never going back to the old ways. Time to try new things…” Buckle up.
